Re: [Orgmode] protecting ascii art

[Scott Otterson]

Yeah, that's what I thought about #+BEGIN_QUOTE too.

By the way, it would be lovely if it were possible to use emacs's 
built-in artist-mode:

   http://www.cinsk.org/emacs/emacs-artist.html

to draw diagrams inside of an org mode buffer.  Right now, hitting M-x 
artist-mode while already in org-mode clobbers the org file. 

But with some code twizzling, maybe it would be possible to use 
artist-mode to interactively draw ascii graphics, just like we can now 
create ascii tables.  That would make org-mode a complete text-based 
system -- a plain text paradise.
